Solidarity Economy 101 Meetup with Teaming with Fungi

Are you interested in learning about economic models that center people and planet over profit? Do you want to see what democratically-governed and collectively-owned enterprises exist in New York City? Curious about what ‘solidarity economy’ means?

In this two-hour workshop we will discuss:

Our current economic model—capitalism—and the ways in which it neglects those most marginalized among us (working class people, poor people, people of color, disabled people, queer people, transgender people, immigrants, etc.).

Cooperative economic models—what we call “The Solidarity Economy”—how they function and why they matter to everyday New Yorkers.

What the Solidarity Economy looks like in New York City and how New Yorkers can plug in.

About the facilitator:

Jess Turner is a black herbalist, urban farmer and educator helping marginalized communities build autonomy through land-based healing practices. She and comrades are in the planning stages of a worker-owned medicinal herb farm called Stellaria Farm Coop.
